Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2014-15

It appears IU won a Canadian basketball game now... by 10 points or so...

Thr team they played yesterday is an elite team. They have beat some great programs including Syracuse. They are a powerhouse in Canada. You should probably do some research on their history before making a comment like that.

Huh? I said (it appears) they won a Canadian basketball game now by about 10 points or so. Is that not accurate? I have no idea who they played other than I know they lost their fist Canadian exhibition game and from what I gathered on the radio they've won one now so I mentioned it (since it hadn't already been mentioned).

What is there to research and why should I research it before "making a comment like that"?

Truthfully, other than posting it as a FYI, I don't even care who they play and beat or lose to in Canada. It's exhibition basketball. It almost means less than nothing. Nothing changes my opinion that Crean sucks and certainly not any exhibition basketball games of this nature will change that.

Nuntius was right. I was wrong. Frank Vogel has retained his job.

In its first game, IU beat Laval 110-70. The second game was a 109-101 loss to Ottawa. The third game was a 95-85 win over Carleton. Tonight IU beat McGill (haven't checked the score). The final game is tomorrow.

Saying a Canadian college team is a powerhouse is like saying that Carmel high school wins a lot of state titles, it may be true, but it doesn't mean IU should lose to them.

Comparing HS to college is an unfair comparison. Carleton is a legit college program with college players. They have only lost 1 game in the last 4 years. No the team wouldn't win a NCAA national championship but they can compete with NCAA D1 teams.

No they wouldn't. They shot 18/30 from 3 in that game. Two of their players were 13/16 combined from 3. That's not happening consistently in D1 basketball.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2014-15

Not to mention 10 of the last 12 championships in Canada and taking legit D1 recruits from potential colleges. Canada is starting to get players. Toronto is a hot bed right now. I talked with AAU coaches based out of TOR while working Bonnies camp. It is big time!

Ok since you're trying to flex your big hipster Canadian basketball knowledge and impress us, please enlighten me to all these legit D1 recruits they've been taking from potential colleges.

Philip Scrubb was one of the best players I saw at Adidas camp 2 months ago. He is clearly a D1 level player, and probably a high major player. The team plays a lot like Belmont does. Anyone who watches Belmont will tell you that style of play can win.

Again the team wouldn't be a world beater at the high major level they would be able to compete with the high majors and could really compete at the mid major level.

Not that it matters. I was just pointing out a 10 point win vs that team is a good win.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2014-15

I can't find that guy's name on any of the major recruiting sites from when he would have been in high school. And that is what I mean when you say legit D1 dudes, maybe this guy has had a good career there, but has that school gotten anyone that was a D1 prospect? He doesn't show up anywhere on Scout from 2010 or 2011 which I'm guessing would have been his senior year based on his birthday.

Anyway IU closed out the rest of the tour the way they should by destroying every other team.
